"""
Meta Data Extension for Python-Markdown
=======================================

This extension adds Meta Data handling to markdown.

Basic Usage:

    >>> import markdown
    >>> text = '''Title: A Test Doc.
    ... Author: Waylan Limberg
    ...         John Doe
    ... Blank_Data:
    ...
    ... The body. This is paragraph one.
    ... '''
    >>> md = markdown.Markdown(['meta'])
    >>> md.convert(text)
    u'<p>The body. This is paragraph one.</p>'
    >>> md.Meta
    {u'blank_data': [u''], u'author': [u'Waylan Limberg', u'John Doe'], u'title': [u'A Test Doc.']}

Make sure text without Meta Data still works (markdown < 1.6b returns a <p>).

    >>> text = '    Some Code - not extra lines of meta data.'
    >>> md = markdown.Markdown(['meta'])
    >>> md.convert(text)
    u'<pre><code>Some Code - not extra lines of meta data.\\n</code></pre>'
    >>> md.Meta
    {}
